Prague: Malá Strana – Gardens, Stories & Baroque Beauty

Overview

Discover Malá Strana, Prague’s unique Baroque district preserved for over 300 years beneath the Castle. Unlike many European quarters reshaped by modern development, it has retained noble palaces, quiet courtyards, monastery gardens, and cobbled streets almost unchanged since the 18th century. During the 20th century, the quarter acquired a bohemian character, becoming a favorite among artists and intellectuals. Today, small galleries, antique shops, cafés, wineries, and pubs maintain this atmosphere within centuries-old buildings. On this curated 3-hour walk, we’ll step inside the magnificent St. Nicholas Church, visit the lavish Vrtba Garden with rooftop views, wander through Prague’s oldest orchard, notice historic house signs that once replaced street numbers, and touch on Jan Neruda’s Tales of Malá Strana, capturing the neighborhood’s spirit. We’ll pause at a small local café or pub to enjoy the atmosphere (drinks typically €2–5, not included). All entrance fees are included.
